At this time, The Emergency Department at Three Rivers Hospital remains open. We will continue to treat patients in the Emergency Department until we have been given further evacuation instructions from law enforcement.
Due to our current Level 2 Evacuation Status, the hospital is unable to admit patients to our inpatient unit. Our outpatient services, such as lab and radiology, are restricted to emergency needs only.
At the time when we are given clearance and our Evacuation Level is eliminated, we will return to providing full service lines at the hospital. Currently, the hospital structure remains intact and is not in immediate jeopardy; however we are requesting that all non-essential staff remain off campus and focus their efforts on their family and friends.
We will be working to contact all staff directly to provide updates regarding the status of the hospital. As always, our top priority at Three Rivers Hospital is the safety and well-being of our patients and our staff. We will continue to take necessary measures that will allow us to provide service to our communities in the safest and most effective way possible.
